Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 11, 2022

well played, Schroeder, toiling with Lucy’s heart like that

Aw Schroeder, that’s cruel

Lucy plays possum and is punished for it!

Just the same, that was quite a risk you took, Schroeder.

I thought I was dreaming this up for a second.

Don’t get her hopes up Schroeder. You’re asking for it.

Maybe it’s a joke but with some unconscious hidden meaning. Why does Schroeder always invite Lucy over to his house then, unless he likes her a little bit? How many times have you seen Schroeder invite his best guy friend Charlie Brown over to play him music?

Somehow, somewhere, Lucy will get even with you Schroeder. And you won’t like it, I’m sure.

Schroeder … where’d you learn to talk like that? You don’t strike me as a ladies man. Way to mess with Lucy!

I thought that sounded out of character for Schroeder.

Today, Lucy would have recorded him on her smart phone and played for anyone who would listen!

Nice try there, Lucy!

Since we are back to 1975 strips today for Sunday, I hope 1975 daily strips going into 1976 resume tomorrow after a week of 1969 Peanuts strips thanks to the gocomics.com pre Thanksgiving site shutdown.

This 1975 Peanuts Sunday strip was last rerun in December 2000 replacing a 1974 Sunday, of course.

He was talking to Franklin.

Well, was it worth it, Lucy; to hear him say those words even once if only in jest?

Grade school romances are adorable!

Word of advice, Schroeder. Don’t start something you can’t finish.

Well played Schroeder (pun intended ;))

In your dreams, lady.

I think Schroeder used reverse psychology on Lucy.

Easily explained: Schroeder is currently composing a Lied.

Its really hard to fall asleep lying on a toy piano. Trust me on this.

Just what conceited girl wants to hear!!!!

That may be the longest speech Schroder ever had.

He played her like he plays a Beethoven Sonata on a toy piano… Easy and effortlessly.

You can’t outsmart an artist.

Well played, Schroeder.

Lucy does not need an invite. She just shows up.

From the movie “Goldfinger”:

Bond: I must be dreaming…"
